Cupid's Wings Cerulean Silk Scarf

"You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings and soar with them above a common bound" 
Romeo and Juliet: William Shakespeare

Digitally printed onto a luxurious Silk Crepe de chine, this scarf drapes beautifully and can be worn in a number of ways. However, it looks particularly stunning when draped across the shoulders, giving the impression that one is more angelic than usual! The overall mood is romantic and ethereal.

The original collagraph plate I printed from has over 100 different feathers, all carefully cut out, stuck down and drawn into by hand! Then I drew delicate wild roses to entwine and cascade across the wing, before printing, scanning, flipping and digitally editing to create the illusion of a pair of wings.
